Once-joyous hallways echo mournfully
With every step that creaks on carpet floors,
And photographs are frowning scornfully
For every face that ever smiles is yours.
Stale memories of whitewashed corridors
Remain in each recess within my mind
With long-lost, savored happiness. No more
Remains in ancient halls for me to find.
For you were one so loving, tender, kind,
And you were taken from us years too soon –
You only of us never lived our blind
And hateful lives – your death is born anew.
Your taking must have been your Master’s will –
I have thee not, and yet, I see thee still.

Author's Comments
Written as a response to ~boundpoems's April prompt - write a 10-25 line poem about loss without using any articles.
The good news: there are only 3 articles in the English language. Bad news: they are "a", "an" and "the". I decided to go further and make it a Spenserian sonnet. 'Cuz I'm hardcore. I wrote this for my Nana, who died of placental cancer at just fifty years old. She never smoked, never drank, and was a strict Mormon. She placed family and faith above everything else, and not a day goes by that I don't miss her. Comments
